There, he is leading a group of 30+ staff of researchers and engineers developing computer vision technologies useful in real world commercial applications while also pushing the boundaries of state-of-the-art research via publications in top-tier venues. The group is also supervising 30+ Computer Vision PhD students in areas such as action recognition, real-time instance segmentation, human pose estimation etc. He is also co-leading one of the activities under CSIRO’s Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Future Science Platform effort where with a team of 10 postdocs and about 40 researchers from 6 Business Units, data science problems from the smallest of microscopy scales to the largest of astronomical scales are addressed by developing new and novel MLAI technologies.

Lars has a keen interest in finding the boundaries of what is possible and then attempt to go beyond. Finding connections between different fields of study and seemingly unrelated domains.
